Cameras to be posted at four Bristol Virginia school zones to catch speeders

The Bristol Virginia Police Department is giving morning commuters ample notice of newly installed cameras positioned to capture speeders in school zones within the city.

Those units will go live October 2nd and for a 30-day period, any motorists 11 miles or more over the speed limit will get an automated warning ticket in mail. The official enforcement will begin in early November and tickets with fines will arrive the same way.

The cameras are posted near Saint Anne’s Catholic School, Virginia High, Virginia Middle, and Stonewall Jackson Elementary. A study conducted in 2022 showed more than 6,000 drivers were recorded speeding in three school zones. That was just for the month of January.
